Belgium was a bit of a disappointment.  Cars were fast and some interesting racing but not as exciting as the last few races unless you are a Merc fan.  Kimi was back in form and not touchable.

Fly out to Tipton and I will pick you up.  It is just up the street at Ft. Meade.

Alpine showed up with 16 upgrades.  Alonzo made it into Q2 but no further.   Several other manufactures had multiple upgrades as well.

Ferrari and McClaren are at the top of the heap.   Norris, Hamilton, and LeClerk are the top 3 but Ham will probably get a 3 spot grid penalty for blocking Piatri's final run.

Race is over some very interesting laps with  Max and Ham.  Ham and Nikki.  All in all a good race.  One unusual incident was the leader running into one of the back markers who did not move out of the way.  Excuse was the blue flags were not working correctly.
